In the dynamic world of real estate, managing vast amounts of data efficiently is essential for businesses to stay competitive. This case study explores how Hula Networks, a leading Value-Added Reseller (VAR) of IT hardware and services, partnered with an online real estate company specializing in real estate management solutions. Together, they successfully established a robust data center location using Nokia’s 7220 IXR-D2L router with SR Linux, configuring it to meet the client’s specific needs. Hula Networks’ engineering services also seamlessly integrated the router into a multi-vendor solution, ensuring smooth operations by incorporating HPE, Juniper Networks, Ubiquiti switches, and Super Micro servers.
The client is an innovative online real estate company dedicated to providing cutting-edge real estate management solutions, streamlining property management, and enhancing customer experiences.
